Fuckin A man. Junkie XL is truly an inspiration. I very much believe that these tutorials will fuel the next generation of film composers that never would have had these kind of resources... I watched Hans' masterclass, it wasn't bad. but it pales in comparison to the depth that Junkie brings in his youtube library. What a time to be alive.

Could you be a little more detailed here? I've seen people writing multiple voices on individual string sections quite often. Do you guys mean, that the section cannot play more than one voice at a time, or is it just unrealistic sounding mock-up?
@AntonStruzik
@AntonStruzik 3 жыл бұрын
@@Medievil7 if you want your arrangement to be played by a real orchestra or ensemble, you can either write one voice for each individual section, or you can do what is called « divisi » which is traditionally done on the violin section but can be done on any section. It just splits the players between several melodic lines within the same section. But if you are writing on software you can do whatever you like. But i think the debate here was more on the individual melody lines that come together to form the harmony: they should all sound like some kind of melody on their own opposed to just being chord tones that come together as a block.

@Medievil7 3 жыл бұрын
@@AntonStruzik Okey! But when writing on software, on a section, you can't really divide the players. I was wondering how many composers do write more voices on individual sections, when trying to achieve the most realistic orchestral mock-up...

@AntonStruzik 3 жыл бұрын
@@Medievil7 i use a library called BBC symphony orchestra from spitfire audio where the violins are split into Violins 1 and 2 so i can write 5 parts harmony for strings which is more than enough i think. Another thing i’ve seen composers do is to write everything on one patch and then manually arrange each voice on every section. If you want the most accurate and realistic sound i guess you should write one voice on each section as otherwise it would sound like you have twice more players in that section when you add a second voice!

In my opinion, it's not worth it. While it was very interesting to get inside Hans' world and get to know him better, there wasn't anything in there that resembles what Tom is doing in this series. I signed up for that Masterclass looking for straight forward how-to's, tutorials, etc. and Hans' course is much broader, more ideological, borderline philosophical. It's very inspiring, but I would much rather have paid $90 USD for a course like Tom's.

And as mentioned by others, his enthusiasm and generosity just make this gold.

Incredible video. My god. I was just going through some old projects and stumbled across one that was string oriented but done real rushed and sloppy, with amateur mixing. I produce hip hop and trap, so I stepped away from music scoring but I always loved my string sections. So I remastered this old track with my new repertoire of skills and redeemed this old track. I went all in, spent about 3.5 hours or more just meddling with the volume, expression, velocity and it came out just so beautiful. I felt something was missing, so I went on KZbin, found this video and discovered I had 99% nailed it. Self taught over many years, but then I discovered one simple thing in this video, that second volume parameter you utilize. It clicked, and I applied this to the track I mentioned and I fell in love with string sections again ;) Thank you. I was getting sick of trap.

This was the first video of Tom's studio time that I've watched a year ago or so. Now I'm coming back to it and it's incredible. How much my perception has changed since then. Even when you feel like time is stale, in fact it never is. Even inside your mind you're constantly learning (especially if you have interests besides just being idle). Back then Kontakt libraries sounded amazing to me, and the orchestra felt kind of like just a cleaner sound. Today libs sound like MIDI compared to the real orchestra. But the latter still sounds cleaner and simpler, all that genious is also simple :) Although there's new depth to that sound to me. As for the harmony - main thing that bought my attention year ago - I wish Tom or someone else would've explained the modal change in the second half of the last part, where we have D# and F# right after we were in D minor. Also the size of the notes and the rythm is also of interest. Overall, amazing journey with Tom. P.S.: I'm thinking we're coming from D harmonic minor to A lydian, correct me if I'm wrong.

This is one of the best youtube videos I have ever seen. On top of being incredibly talented, obviously, you're also genuine & passionated. It is so easy to see that you have a million things to say about this piece, and that you just want to give. But you know when to stop, you know you can't explain everything so you let the music talk, and that's just beautiful. I don't know anything about creating music, and having a chance to see a glimpse of the process, a glimpse of your mind really, was exilarating. Being from Belgium, the part where you talk about the terrorist attack hit pretty hard, especially with a soundtrack like that. Thank you, subscribed, 10/10, will come again.

I have to dial up the volume when he plays or show notes playing, then quickly dial down when he speaks. I have balanced monitors :) I remember when JXL showed us Mad Max percussion the drums would blast into my walls, and speech was same level. I understand this is strings only too. Hope this was constructive and will be considered for the next uploads! :D Other then that brilliant work can't wait for the next stuff.

Is it in any way important what all these harmonies are (d minor, g etc...)? i dont know anything about harmonies, i cant read or play notes, but i create similar emotional melodies out of my brain that sound great in my ears, i play on keyboard chords and melodies automatically that has no mistakes / i hear when there is a note that does not fit. Would i improve my skill of composing by learning all the harmony-theorie? What do you think? or should i just continue creating own melodies without theorie? One more question, is it little bit indirect talent of me or is everyone who only listens to music able to catch every bad note? i think everyone would hear bad / not fititng notes or melodies isnt it? Thanks for the great video anyway, nice to see how you compose step by step.

Is it important to know music theory? Not if your current workflow suits you. If you want to improve your workflow, you should look into music theory. It doesn't make you a "better" musician, but it helps you understand how music works, and with that knowledge you can improve your scores. Making music is all about the feeling of it. It doesn't matter how it's made.

Thank you for all your sharing, I am a cinematographer but write music on my off time and just so great to learn from someone in a similar field who understand story telling through music.

What an amazing content Tom!, thank you very much for sharing with us!. In my case these kind of videos are really helpful because we as composer can actualize compare our process and see if we can actually improve or workflow, to better our way of doing things or simply realize whether we are using our tools in the same way or if there is a better way. Thank you very much once again!

Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to prepare this video - really nice piece. It's inspiring to see how you build up a string arrangement, and I really like hearing the final result while watching the key editor. Very much appreciated!!

Amazing how close the CS strings sounded to the final live strings. The stereo image however, was much more pronounced with the live strings, but I think playing with the mic options might also solve that too. But I know now what my next library will be :)
